what do you mean "lifting"

manic4titans

What do you mean exactly?

This is what I do:

30 squats-- with 15 pound weight in each hand
30 lunges-- (no weights)
Leg curls-- I think the weight is 86
leg extensions --101
arm curls-- 10 pound each hand
arm lifts-- only 5 pounds I have nerve damage in one shoulder
seated press-- not sure of the weight but I have 4 weights on there
seated row --same as the press
rear deltoid press-- 2 weights
triangular pull ??-- 46 pounds
ab machine
I do another exercise for the side abs. I don't know the name.
And another one for my back.


Is this enough? I do arms, shoulders, and back one day and the next legs and stomach. Each exercise 8 times until I complete at least 3 rounds.

lifting is lifting stuff up and putting it back down. also know as weight lifting.. or strength training to some.

for the actual working out part... if you don't actually increase the weight from session to session then its going to be mostly cardio, you will get little to no muscle growth without overloading your muscles.. your routine seems umm??? not going to lie.. thats a ton of exercises for one gym session.. i would say its way way more then enough. i also don't really see some key muscles in it. i don't really have any programs that i think you would run.. i can try tho..


barbell rows or seated row .. pullups if you can do them.
some type of curl
dips
squats + calf raises
something for your shoulder + lower back that you can do with your nerve damage.
abs ( even tho squats work them better then anything you could find in the gym)
M OFF W OFF F OFF OFF .. and on workout days switch up the major muscle group you start with.. ie m work legs , wed , back . etc

* I do another exercise for the side abs. I don't know the name ? i think you mean obliques ?

gl. sorry if this is no help

By lifting most mean, higher weight fewer reps. A weight that is hard for you to do the last few reps. Reps should be in the 8 - 10 range, once you can easily do 3 sets of 10 reps increase weight.


for beginners I would recommend compound exercises


squats
dead lifts
bench press
shoulder press
barbell or dumbbell rows

I guess you miss the part when where I said I do legs and abs one day and the NEXT day I do arms and back.

Ok, ANY advice is helpful. Thanks
